Outakes images from the trip to Barcelona and Costa Brava

So,the trip was AMAZING !!!!Gaudi,Picasso,Dali, the beaches,Barrio Gotico,Cadaques,Monserrat,Figueres,the food,the people...Who'd have thunk that travel photography is so much fun !(Sometimes you have to wake up while it's still dark...but it definitely worth it, to rub shoulders with the Sun, as she rises).It was 3 days shoot for a travel magazine , and some extra days in between.Here are some outakes from the trip. You can see also a couple of photographs that I took of my daughter, who got inspired (as well as myself) after the visit at the Picasso Museum, and wanted me to photograph her with the sun screen on her face, so she could draw her portrait afterwards, in a cubist way (maybe).You can even spot me walking on the beach (shot by her), blending with the buildings of Cadaques ("The most beautiful town", as Dali said in the 70's, while he was partying with The Rolling Stones, and others.)The blue tiles of the "corridor of light", situated in the center of Gaudi's house, Casa Battlo, (what an amazing way to have all the rooms filled with natural light) are so beautiful.What a genius he was ! And the roof !!! Almost out of body experience.

About Me

Rafael Fuchs is a photographer and filmmaker. In his personal work he remains independent, unconventional and personal as his self portraits in a war zone while doing his obligatory service as an israeli soldier in the occupied Lebanon in the 80's , or his controversial portraits he took in 9.11.2001 of random people who were watching the twin towers burning during those decisive moments of confusion, just before the towers collapsed.
Some of his subjects were: Burt Reynolds, Emily Watson, Beyonce, Colin Powell, and more.
However, Rafael has been playing the outsider throughout of his career.Rafael gained numerous awards by APA, Communication Arts, PDN, American Photo , Creativity magazine and more.
It was an organic transition for Rafael to open his gallery: “Fuchs Projects” in 2012 in Bushwick, Bklyn, NY, with the mission to create a hub for photography, and preserve, produce, create events and exhibit art works of emerging and mid-career local artists who are a part of the Bushwick art evolution and are creating challenging and educating works that are related especially to the photography media.
